Best Of Natural History Radio

Brett Westwood presents. We take a look at British farmland and ask how fit it is for wildlife to flourish. We go in search of the small flower the Blue Pimpernel and Britain's "Big Six" of farmland birds to discover what changes to farming arable land have been needed to allow them to re-emerge. We also feature a report from South America where Mark Brazil has had a close encounter with the Maned Wolf - one of the rarest mammals in the world and perhaps one of the least understood. With news from Kelvin Boot.
